Emmanuel Burton did that once, too. He didn't even go down from a punch; in fact, the bell to end round 12 sounded, and he easily could've gotten...
Here's what Oscar Suarez said about the fight: It was my decision to stop the fight. You can't sit by and let a young man get punished like...
So, if Freitas had simply waited for the bell to ring, taken a knee, waited out the count and lost, you would've been happier?!?!?!?!

Um, he debuted at 135, and he fought at 135 last night. Of course. There was a lot more doubt who was going to win than there will be for...
He knew that by signing with Arum, he wouldn't be able to take the big fights. It's his fault.
I disagree. He tried to win the match and had a strategy; he simply wasn't mentally strong enough to stick with it. Just as some fighters aren't...
Actually, after Jones's second win over Barrera, Jones and Hamed fought on the same card in 1997, setting up a bout between the two. Jones lost...
The second Jackson fight was circa 1995. :dunno:
If everyone who fought as a pro or an amateur bet against Diaz, the odds would've been -10000 on Diaz.
I watched Mosley-De la Hoya I with a few friends. We all agreed that Mosley clearly won the fight. I said, "I'll bet anyone here $____ that it's...

No more or less of a bum than Tommy Watson. Tate simply fought better fighters.
It's more the way a fighter quits that pisses people off than if he quits. Robinson in the Maxim bout? He couldn't stand up. He nearly died....
What makes you think that Wlad could fight a 20-round fight the way Tate and Semen could? [IMG]

Ha-ha! You're the girl!
Shut up, newb.
I downloaded a couple of classic 1970s and 1980s porn VHS-rips. Drank some vodka. Ate some candy. I feel better about it.
